Safety precautions
Please carefully read and follow the following precautions and
recommendations:
Improper transportation, handling or use of this housing might cause a
flood or a malfunction. Follow all recommendations stated in the next
sections of this manual.
Never remove, change a port or open the housing in a location where sand
or similar foreign material might come in contact with an O-ring. Be wary of
strong winds as they could potentially be carrying sand or other harmful
particulate matter.
Always perform a simple preventive seal test without the camera inside
after doing maintenance on the housing.
Non-authorized use of third party accessories, as well as modifications
and/or alterations not specifically authorized by Aquatica may affect
performance, cause poor functioning of the controls or impair the sealing
integrity of the housing.
Always handle the ports carefully. Protect them when not in use to avoid
scratching the acrylic or glass surface of ports and windows.
Always confirm that the ports remain properly attached before rinsing the
housing. When rinsing without a wired strobe, confirm that the bulkhead
strobes connectors are sealed with their plug.
Never jump into the water with the housing. Have the system handed to
you after you have made your entry or have it lowered to you on a rope.
Never handle the housing by grabbing the port, or if using one, the Aqua
View finder.
Make sure that boat staff are familiar with these procedures and advise them
to manipulate the housing by using the grips provided with the housing.
